Still looking for the branch mints for 1914. You can go online and find a ton of 1909-S VDB's, but just try finding a 1914-S. And the cost of a...
Excellent points. I knew I was off base on the "taking home" part. If nothing else the coin is obviously circulated, so it reached its intended...
In addition, there is a die clash on the reverse running through the C in CENT.

That all sounds exactly sound to me. I have worked in metal-working in my 20's and still have a bunch of hardened bits, drills, and files in the...
I'll give the file theory some more thought, but I'll need to get some time to work with the images. I'd already proposed a partial theory...
I'm with Dave here. Many years ago I worked on a software project with a small team. At every design meeting we were all sure we understood the...
I like the overlay, but look at the photos of the holder on DLRC. The reverse does not align with the obverse. When I originally realigned the...
The 1912 was listed as Gem BU++ on eBay. The 1912-D was in a PCGS AU58 holder at David Lawrence. I made an offer and they took it. There is some...
I could not stand my iPhone photo. Our guests have gone, the tripod is back on the desk, and I took a quick photo of the 1951 again. [ATTACH]
I tore down my "studio" - my tripod on my desk - company coming today. So here is an iPhone shot. I held the coin next to the phone to adjust the...
@dimeguy I second what @BadThad said. For my part, everything I have was set aside for posterity by someone else. I feel I am just sharing in...
With all due respect to Socrates (apologies if he was a personal friend) the canvas has marked the highest contours of the Morgans where it was...
I was going to start at the beginning and post the coins I have not yet posted. @BadThad lured me into posting the 1910's, and I just posted the...
I know for a fact there are other 1910's out there, even if you seem to have every single one of them! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If it went from MS63 BN to MS65 RB, then I should be able to get 5 times what I paid for it. But then I'd have to sell it. And then I wouldn't...
Only the fields are affected, not the devices, except some very shallow parts of the bust. Both sides are affected. The characteristic is like a...
Thanks! It has great luster and just tilting it gives a ton of depth, flashes of deep red color, and a lot of enjoyment. I'd rather get just one...

These were common when I was a young teenager going through $50 bags of cents. But then, that was only 20 years after they were minted. The S mint...
